In brief
After heavy rain, the Guadalupe River has surged over 32 feet, reigniting a region that saw more than 130 people killed last July when the same river swept through Camp Mystic. Emergency officials warn residents to evacuate, and a new death—unrelated to the camp—has already been reported by Governor Abbott. Rescues have reached about 80 people, while the battlefield at Comfort shows flood waters swallowing a dance hall. The storm’s swift rise and daunting currents remind younger audiences how unpredictable severe weather can be and how vital early alerts are for safety.
